It isn’t a secret that a man in a suit is probably one of the sexiest things ever. Need evidence? Watch Mad Men and see how good a suit can really look on a man. Or even just look at pictures of David Beckham on the red carpet. The defense rests. So guys, are you on the hunt for a new suit to start looking a little more dapper in your life? Or maybe you need one for the new job? Suits can get pretty expensive as Barney from How I Met Your Mother expressed, but they are a good investment.

Where can you get a great suit? You might want to visit a tailor of some sort if you can afford one. If you want something more on the reasonably priced side, JCPenny’s can be a good way to start. This way you can start to see how suits fit and how to wear them. It also helps you decide what types of styles you like when it comes to your suit. Do you prefer the three-piece suit with the vest or just the suit jacket, pants, and shirt?

When you have moved on from JCPenny’s and can afford a nicer suit, there is always Macy’s and Express. Both have great options for suits. Macy’s is home to many different designers, so there are more choices to explore. Express has nicer clothes as well, just not a large variety of suits.

Once you start wearing suits you have to be sure that you’re wearing your suit correctly — especially when you first start out and aren’t entirely sure how it is supposed to fit. When trying on shirts, relax your arms at your sides to see if the shirt fits. If it covers your wrist but still remains above your thumb, that is usually the right fit. When it comes to the shoulder, the shirt should be lined up with the end of your shoulder. (This might be difficult to tell on your own, so ask a sales associate, and they will help you.) Don’t be shy when it comes to asking for help when it comes to suits, guys; it can be difficult to figure out by yourself.

When it comes to pants you want a straight back and a small crease in the front. Ill-fitting pants are the absolute worst because you spend most of your day adjusting.

When it comes to jackets, they really depend on your body type. Trying on different types of jackets is a long journey, but trying on different styles is worth the time.

Suits take time and patience to figure out; they are more complicated than men usually think. A well-fitting suit can bring confidence, and honestly, who doesn’t want that? In no time, you’ll start adopting that coveted Mad Men sense of fashion!

Wedding season is quickly approaching, and it is time to start thinking about where you are going to get a suit. Guys, it may be the bride’s day, but she wants you to look your best. This is one of the few times that you get to dress to the nines. When it comes to tuxedos, the best option is to rent. Buying a tuxedo will cost you an arm, a leg, and probably your soul if you want any accessories as well. However, if you are not in the wedding party, you won’t have to worry about this, so a great suit will work instead.

This is the time to wear a cool suit with a vest. Vests have a more formal feel than a suit that just has the jacket and pants. It will look like you put forth some extra effort, which the bride will appreciate, especially if the wedding has a formal dress code. Now, the question is, where does one get a nice suit for this wedding and the many weddings to come? You don’t want to buy something that will cost you the same price as your rent or bills. When looking for a nice suit, remember that your bills are far more important.

JCPenney is not necessarily the route you really want to go for a more formal suit. Buying one really great suit is probably the best option seeing as you can get a lot of use out of it. A man can wear the same suit to every event, and no one says anything, so go buy one! Maybe buy two if you can afford it!

Express: Jacket $198; Pants $88

Express is usually a place where you can get a pretty affordable suit, and they have suits specifically for formal events.

Macy’s: Kenneth Cole Suit $300

Macy’s is also a great place to get a pretty nice suit for a more affordable price. If you are the type of guy who needs to try on a suit before purchasing, then Express or Macy’s is the place to go.

Men’s USA: Dark Grey Wool Blend 3 Button Suit $139

If you want to get an entire three piece suit for less than $300, then check out the website Men’s USA. If you know your measurements pretty well, then purchasing a suit online could always be an option. Men’s USA has pretty low prices and has a guarantee on the quality of their suits;. Men’s USA has a three piece suit that is only $139, which is incredibly low for this type of suit.

There are always cheaper options around, but you still want to look your best. Now, you are ready for wedding season. All you have to do is practice your dance moves. The robot is always a crowd-pleaser!
